Made of Mana and Parson Jones

These four friends grew up making music together, and it shows. They cut their teeth early, and were soon sharing the stage with high-profile artists at major venues. They continued to hone their skills over the years through extensive touring and live performances in other projects – these are accomplished musicians.

Their new project, Made of Mana, is a modern rock band out of the San Francisco Bay Area that has been strongly influenced by the California coast they call home. Their songwriting includes strains of blues-rock guitar à la Jimi Hendrix and John Mayer, paired with soulful vocals sharing stories of longing, loss, and growth. They are here to share the pure love and expressive power of music, removed from the glitz and glamor that typifies the music industry today.

This is aspirational music, yearning for each of us to become the best versions of ourselves, but with expectations that have been tempered by the hard lessons learned through a life fully lived. “We play music because we love it. So, when we share our music with an audience, we are sharing an expression of love, and that is the most powerful force in the universe.”
